Sweet Acorn Squash

Use some simple flavourings to bring out the best in this milder cousin of the pumpkin.

Ingredients:
1 small acorn squash (about 1 lb)
1 tsp minced garlic
2 tbsps brown sugar
2 tsps balsamic vinegar
1 tsp lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil
salt and pepper (optional)

I used a small squash because I find the bigger ones are harder to cut. Start by cutting it in half and scooping out the seeds. 

Then slice it in 1/4" rounds.

Combine all the ingredients in a bag and toss with the squash. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and spoon any remaining mixture on top of each slice.

Bake at 400°F for 25-30 minutes or until tender and nicely caramelized. Ready to serve and eat the peel too! It's packed with nutrients and antioxidants!
